BROOKLYN. 6; CINCINNATI, 2
CINCINNATI, July 16.-Miserable fielding by
Fenneily and wretched backstop work by Bald
win gave the Brooklyns a lead to-day which the
Cincinnatis could not overcome. They batted
Porter terrifcally, but always at some fielder.
Had Mullane received the same support, the
Cincinnatis would have won easily. The
Brooklyns very lucky in having
their hits and the Cincinpats' errors punched.
After the fourth inning the Brooklyns could
do nothing with Mullane The Cinclnnatis had
ten men left bases, the majority reaching
third Nicols's batting and fielding was the only
redeeming feature of the Cincinnati game. Peo-
Piles, behind the bat, did some great work, max
ing but one bad throw Porter did some neat
work with the stick. The day was intensely
hot, being 98o in the shade. Four thousand
people were present Score:
